Whoever invented canister vacuum cleaners...

So, I was cleaning my house this morning, and it came time to vacuum. We have a canister vacuum. I have a major issue with canister vacuum cleaners. They annoy the heck out of me. I have so many problems with them:

-You can't clean more than six feet without having to drag the vacuum and clean another six feet, repeating this process throughout the WHOLE ENTIRE HOUSE.
-They are impossible to manuever when they have that stupid carpet cleaning thing on them.
-Canister vacuums get clogged up easily. Then you have to reach in and pull out the now filthy thing that clogged it, and redo the whole area you just cleaned.
-They hardly pick up any dust.
-You have to change the bag every three seconds. :(

And usually after vacuuming, I get really angry and yell at my brother and sister a lot.

SO I have created the ten commandments for vacuuming, to help me correct my bad habits...
-Thou shalt not throw thy vacuum on thy floor following cleaning.
-Thou shalt not become angry with thy vacuum.
-Thou shalt not swear at inanimate objects that are in thy way of vacuuming.
-Thou shall carefully move fragile objects instead of throwing them on thy couch.
-Thou shalt not become angry with anyone who tracks mud on your freshly vacuumed area.
-Thou shalt not become angry with thy siblings whilst cleaning.
-Thou shalt calm thyself before thy vacuums.
-Thou shalt not kick thy vacuum repeatedly when thy vacuum will not turn on.
-Thou shalt repeat to thyself "It is only a vacuum. It is only a vacuum." instead of yelling at it for being stupid.
-Thou shalt not try to throw away thy vacuum after each vacuuming session.
